That is awesome. I'm going out to the truck to grab my GPS shortly... Got to try it.

Tried it out with my 276c and Macbook Pro. Overall it was easy and only took a few seconds to transfer (which I was really pleased about). The new point was added as a with a simple grey square marker.

It's too bad it can't do routes yet!

Agreed , but at least we are no longer in the minority - and Garmin recognizes Google

Many, many thanks.

But I still can't figure out how to do the reverse -- get a trip recorded on GPS to Google Earth.

A couple nice people have tried to explain it to me, but I can't quite seem to get it.

Does Garmin not support GPX format? I've had the GMapToGPX script in my browser for years now.

Pretty cool to see a direct interface though.
